Group teaching for language learning is essential, even more for kids. It’s really important to be in a context where you have to interact with other humans. There is a reason anyone serious and with the means will pay good money to go to language courses IRL to progress, instead of relying on video calls. And the last thing kids need is even less human contact during their education
Not entirely joking but group teaching: fire up multiple AIs. Hear live talking in a foreign language, chip in when you want, they adapt to your level.
Lack of human contact and alienation are real problems at all ages, but that does not mean current chatbots are not excellent teachers, especially in language learning when you do not even need a curriculum as such, just talk/read/write as much as you can, it's all text.
It’s not really about the number of people, it’s about having a diversity of individuals, interests, topics of discussion, people making different type of mistakes, different accents and pace, etc
